Causes And Symptoms Of Peeling Skin
January 10, 2009
Peeling skin is a common problem. It is not unnatural. Our skin has three layers – the outer, middle and inner layers. The outer layer of the skin is replaced by new skin every 28 days.
So if your skin is peeling, there is nothing to worry about. But let me remind you, other than skin replacement there are other causes of skin peeling. It can happen due to rash, dryness, sunburn and even reaction to medication. Among them, sunburn is the most common reason behind this skin problem. Usually sunburn heats the outer layer of the skin and skin starts to peel automatically.
Even though skin peeling is natural, there are certain skin disorders that can lead to skin peeling, namely Erythroderma, Exfoliative dermatitis, Hand eczema, Ichthyosis, etc. Apart from these skin problems, if one has an over dose of Vitamin A then this skin condition can occur.
If you are facing this problem, then you need to follow some rules, so that this does not lead to a bigger skin problem.
• Never scratch the peeling skin. This will make the situation worse.
• Use a good moisturizer, so that the skin remains smooth.
• Drink lots of water, so that your skin remains well hydrated.
• Use a sunscreen or a sun block when you go out.
• Do not rub wet skin with a towel. Instead pat it dry.
• Avoid using harsh soap. Use something mild.
• Avoid taking a hot bath, as hot water washes off the natural moisturizer of our skin. Go for a warm bath. But if a hot bath is necessary, make it short.
The good news is there are a handful of natural remedies for skin peeling. The ingredients can be found in your kitchen.
Apply some grated cucumber on the dry areas and keep it for about 15-20 minutes. This prevents skin dryness.
You can also use the juice of fresh mint every night. Apply the juice on the affected area.
A mixture of honey, olive oil, sandalwood and turmeric also does wonders to your skin and prevents skin peeling.
So, if you are having this problem, remember that it is not unnatural and there are easy remedies to it.
